Dog reunited with owner

By Josh Sweigart | Thursday, April 30, 2009, 10:13 AM

Press release from Butler County Dog Warden’s office:

Nanuk, or “Nookie” is a service dog who went missing last week from her owner in Hamilton Ohio and was found Wednesday thanks to the efforts of Bob Goettelman from the Butler County Auditor, Roger Reynold’s Office and Ron Woods of Temperance Michigan.

Nookie wandered away from her owner and was found by Mr. Wood’s Brother-in-law while fishing in Hamilton. He then took the dog to his brother in law in Temperance, MI.

Nookie was thankfully wearing her Butler County Dog license (service dog id).

Mr. Woods then contacted Butler County Auditor, Roger Reynolds office, where Bob Goettleman, was unable to reach owner, since the phone had been disconnected. He was able to locate owner, Heather Komnenovich, by a internet search and found her Mother’s obituary in the Oxford Press News and then contacted a family member who would meet her at the funeral that day and give her the news that her dog had been found.

Chief Julie Holmes of the Butler County Dog Wardens Office was contacted by Mr. Goettleman to help with making the arrangements to help get Nookie Home. Chief Julie Holmes immediately volunteered to help and drove last night to Lima, Ohio (a 1/2 way point) to meet Mr. Woods. Nookie was able to stay the night at the Chief Dog’s house and will be reunited today with her grateful owner at 10:00 AM the Animal Friends Humane Society at 5225 Hamilton Trenton Rd, Trenton Ohio.

The Animal Friends Humane Society has graciously offered to have Nookie checked out by a Veterinarian prior to her reunion.

The Butler County Dog Warden would like to graciously extend a BIG THANK YOU to Mr. Ron Woods, Bob Goettleman and Auditor Roger Reynolds for helping make this reunion possible.
